What regulations?

What you’re saying isn’t in doubt, but it doesn’t fit the pattern of what I’m describing. Ofc there are people who oppose the Israel/Palestine war. I never said no one opposed it. I also never said I was for it.

The point of the description is there was a deluge. Daily multiples across forums, subs, endless. The deluge abruptly stopped on Nov 5. The genocide didn’t stop on Nov 5, but the endless fury of posts across social media did.

I understand that no one likes to face or feel manipulation, but there it is.

Your attempt to make dislike of AI slop and churn sound like a bad thing has failed.

I would dearly love to never see another popup random name Tshirt company with themed “humor” that falls flat or reads as slightly weird because it’s just shy of hitting the mark or has the feel of trying too hard. (Great trainer though, you’ll know what “hits” by buys.)

Or, to never experience another pre election run like Nov24 where an endless deluge of Israel/Pakistan horror flooded the Lemmy and Reddit feeds only to abruptly shut off on Nov5.

I’ve always just blocked Pinterest in my browser, the eyeroll that it is, but my understanding is it’s dominated by AI imagery now.

AI is meming now.

AI is probably doing Tshirts too. All those many many T-shirt sites with churned out “humor” that falls flat or feels slightly off.

Maybe take a moment to watch Jon Oliver’s “AI Slop” show from 2? weeks ago.

I strongly suspect the endless spam of Pakistan/Israel horror posts across Lemmy and Reddit last year that abruptly cut off on Nov 5 was more of the same.

It’s a free show. With the right people it’s good, but I understand your feeling.

MAGAs are the gun owners. Mostly.

This is why I worry. It’s likely correct in that we’re heading for fallout. But here we are.

Here’s another issue. Can we believe any of the numbers being posted on federal .gov sites any more?

I’ve been reading a lot about the inception of the welfare Queen idea, as pushed by Reagan first in California and then in our government as a whole ever since. So I initially started reading this as Trump numbers to support that nonsense.

I want to believe it is what it says it is, a warning sign to us all.

I love how so many believe anyone and everyone can “just move”. Moving, even locally, is beyond the means of many.

CNAs, RTs, and Nurses can, and often do, live paycheck to paycheck. This is variable among mid levels.

Maybe doctors can “just move”. It’s more likely, based on income. And backgrounds. Maybe. Again, you can’t know the circumstances or the breadth of the language barrier.

Canada maybe. It’s my understanding the income is fixed, across the board, and RNs with 2yr degrees could only work as LPNs in Canada, regardless of experience.

Again. Circumstances vary.

“Just move” isn’t good advice unless you know someone well enough to know it’s good advice for them.

Healthcare started laying people off, including nurses, engaging hiring freezes, and tightening 2 months ago. After the senate pass, they’ve promised more cuts.

This is simply how the GOP raises money now.

I feel called out. I immediately thought of this TOS during that Seinfeld episode.

And the judicial branch of government is officially dead.

Don’t forget about defunding rural hospitals.

Hospital income is 30-60% Medicare & Medicaid. Urban leans towards 30%. Rural and critical access lean heavily to the 60% side of things.

As such, the expectation should be cuts in medical service availability.

The biggest loss leader in the medical hospital line up is mother/baby & NICU. This is why not every hospital has these services. Or why a corporate chain in an area has 1 between their hospitals. The expectation here needs to be that less mother/baby services will be available going forward.

Don’t think for one second that hospitals cannot shut down.
